How to make a "Hose Dummy"

---

This Hose dummy was constructed from out of service 2 1/2" fire hose.  In only a few hours and with minimal material we had a very tough and rugged rescue dummy. 

Materials needed:

• 2 - 50' lengths of 2 1/2" fire hose (couplings cut off)
• Duct Tape
• Steel thread rods with nuts
• 2X6 Lumber (or rubber hockey pucks)

For next hose dummy we construct we will make the torso a bit shorter, and instead of using 2x6 for the joints will try using rubber hockey pucks instead.
